[Q] Rooting ZTE Majesty

I am like many others in this thread. I bought my ZTE Majesty about a month ago and have been searching and trying everything under the sun to root this stubborn device. It's hard to tell how many hours I've devoted to it. I wish I knew more about rooting and the internal workings of android phones. There has got to be someone out there who owns this device and has the time and knowledge to root this thing. This is absolutely frustrating. I wish I had the money to buy a temporary replacement right now because I would send the one I have to one you geniuses to get your hands on it. I think this is the first Android I have ever owned that I was not able to root. I have faith though. Unless it turns out that the phone cannot be rooted, I know someone will eventually come up with a root for it. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.

Yeah. That's how it seems, especially since I can get Kingo to root it and if I unplug my device from my PC right before it finishes to tell it to shut down. But it works very temporarily (like, super temporarily. Titanium Backup doesn't work and I can't install a hacked Google Play). Root checker says it is rooted, though. But only until I restart.

Any way to downgrade this to 4.0 at all?

We friends and I have the same problem, have heard about a back door with a hard code chinese , but nothing yet. If anyone takes root to this device please post here, I am watching this site and others very closely for a hit that will stick. It' a matter of time before it's cracked.

I'm so glad I got rid of this phone. I mean, it's a good phone. But GOD it's impossible to root. I just went ahead and got a flip phone and a tablet. I'm saving money anyway. I don't think I'll ever get a ZTE phone again though lololol

I had to end up doing the same thing. At my local Kroger store they were selling the ZTE Flash for $99. The specs are way better than that of the ZTE Majesty. The camera alone is 12.6MP compared to the 5.0MP camera on the Majesty. Did some research online while I was walking around the store and verified that I could root the ZTE Flash before coming to a purchase decision. I've got to say, I am very happy I bought it. I may keep my Majesty laying around in case my son wants to use it for games. Knowing me, I will more than likely check back occasionally to see if a root has been developed for it. This is the only phone I have had problems rooting and I am very curious to see if anyone is ever able to haha.

and got rid of it
Got a CDMA-V VERIZON towers Samsung Galaxy S3 @ Walmart on Black Friday for $299 and it is sooooo much better
Only lost about $25 selling on eBay so for the time I had it it was ok BUT
just too wacked from all the Samsung stuff I got
I will never buy any thing ZTE again......it just is so cheap feeling

I noticed that the recent posts have been mainly about people selling their Majesty for other phone models. This is discouraging and not very helpful. Some of us are depending on a permanent root method for the Majesty because we don't have the luxury of getting a different phone.

Is anyone making any progress towards rooting this phone

Please, if you are still working on this, give us an update so the ones who are still waiting don't lose hope..
